Unexpected and Surprising

I met my cousin, who will be an August bride, for brunch.  We haven't seen each other since August of 2009 when she treated me to a food funeral at Tucker's Market Place.  She said she was getting quite excited regarding her wedding. . .I thought to myself "DUH no kidding", I guess the look on my face said it all. . . she laughed and said "No aside from the obvious, I am anxious to see the look on people's faces when they see you!  There is such a big change"

Many of my dad's side of the family have seen me, except on facebook since 2008, for me the change has been so gradual, I really don't think of the "shock and awe" response I may get when people see me.  It could be an interesting night.

Boy, OKNEE, I'll bet there will be  quite a few folks who will see you and not recognize you, for sure! And that's still a few months away - who knows how you'll look by then? Doesn't it feel so exciting to think of the reactions of people to the "new you"? Have fun with that thought and fill us in when it's over!

Hi

I hope you will knock the socks off everyone that you know at your cousin's wedding in August as you

look so great, like a totally different person, I am sure that they probably won't even recognize you and
you would have lots of fun playing with that fact.

I also hope that you are going to get a smoking hot outfit to wear as well and have a great time.

You look great and you should really enjoy yourself. 

Take care, and remember to take lots of pics

speaking of reactions.

this past week i did a show (home party thing) for my friend. her neigbhours were there and the one lady said. "i saw you a few years ago having  a smoke outside and didn't recognize you, i thought you were a different lady doing the show, not the one i met before. Wouldn't have known me,said i was a totally different person. Same goes for a lady who hasn't seen me since Aug 2010. She was blown away.

Its so much fun to run into people you hanve't seen in awhile.

 A customer came into the office and just stood there looking at me, couldnt' figure it out and i didn't say anything to her. She looked like she didn't believe me when i told her my name. I'm sure she was thinkging. "THAT'S NOT MRS. M. that's not the person i did business with last time". it was pricesless.

I know I run into people I met and haven't seen since pre-op, speak right up to them because I know them only to realize they don't recognize me, I still use my old ID badge as the camera is always "broken" when I go for a new pic.  So I hold it up and show them who I was.
